Wasn't sure where to put this. The humour forum crossed my mind.

They had boarded a United Airlines Flight from Washington to Tampa on Monday but were taken off the aircraft because of comments made by one of the men, according to an airline spokesman.

Pakistani officials said the officer, weary from the journey to the US, had said, "I hope this is the final plane to the destination" causing a female passenger, who believed he was threatening the aircraft, to panic.

The story I heard had him saying "I hope this flight is my last".

Given the sorry state of airline travel, dunno, "I hope this flight is my last" is something I could well say too. Doesn't sound to me like reason to panic. More like reason to feel some compassion for the poor guy.

Tell me about it... I've taken 3,000 mile road trips rather than fly. I used to love to fly.

Security nothing. I'm talking about being squeezed in some seating designed for hobbits (a 5ft tall woman who was with us on such a trip actually complained about leg space!), being served some curly grass as in-flight "meal", having to listen to a baby cry, waiting for 45 minutes (actually measured on the watch) on the runway because the idiots forgot to pack the luggage too... and then forgot again on the trip back too, and so on, and so forth. And oh yeah, apparently a PSP or Nintendo DS can scramble the airplane's electronics or something, so no escaping that crap reality either.

Not to mention how the final price of the ticket can reach almost double the advertised fare after all the various taxes, surcharges, and fees are added in.
